this pan is adequate hard, fits comfortably in your hand and keeps better than some slight Alupfanne after sufficient heating, the heat. I take this nonstick skillet for pan fries, ie the recommended 2 / 3rd control is also slightly exceeded times. previously there were no problems whatsoever with the coating. However, I generally watch out for slow heating of the pan to the top of the field to an uneven warping / avoid bumps. The coating is treated with the recommended care. Here go all producers on "the safe side", as one example of textile manufacturers is sufficiently usual: do not wash above 30 degrees, do not spin, do not tumble, do not iron, attract the best and throw away. is ignored by me and if it goes wrong times but in some cases the product is dead to me, and will not buy again. So I proceed with my pans. With a bit of tact and restraint with extreme temperatures without sharp-edged tools and without scouring said her good coatings from what. Unfortunately, long-term experience with this pan is still missing.
